Does anyone know why Fidel Castro and Che Guevara are not credited with appearances in this film through archive footage?
Castro is the obvious one to spot at the rally in Cuba, but Che is on the stage with him wearing his signature beret with the star.
Maybe I'm wrong and that's not Che, but that's definitely Castro and I'm surprised that he is not credited for this appearance like he is in several other films.
Castro and Che are definitely captured in the movie during the public meeting. Che Guevara is spot for just a few seconds, but Castro is pictured in a couple of instances for several seconds, adjusting the micrpophones. In fact, the whole meeting is a real one, is not a stunt scene. Of course, the players were not in that act, they were filmed in the studio and the film edited to look all-at-once.
Why Castro and Che are not credited? Simple: why should they be? they are not players whatsoever.

Still, they should have got archive footage credits.
